"Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and including Ms Truss, born 101 years later in 1975."

Unbelievable the history she was a witness to.

Just like every other 96 year old though, right?

How many other 96 year olds have interacted weekly with all those prime ministers? And also met all the other significant figures in that time?

Churchill faced down (figuratively) Hitler and Mussolini, which makes him a heroic and legendary figure. (He was also a racist monster). Until yesterday, she was a living person who had actually talked to him at length, regularly when he was alive. That's amazing to think about.
